With more than 74 percent of ballots scanned, Chevalier won the night with 115,935 votes to Republican nominee Jomo William's 14,764 votes.

In June, Democratic Socialists of America and Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed Chevalier won the primary against the incumbent Espaillat with 49 percent of the vote in a major Democratic upset.

Congressional District 13 includes Harlem, East Harlem, West Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Washington Heights, Inwood, Marble Hill, and the northwest Bronx.

As of 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 415,165 people cast their ballots in Manhattan.

All results are unofficial until the Board of Elections certifies them. Once the New York City Board of Elections tallies and certifies all votes, it will announce the official final totals.
